Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Japan gets underway.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Maya Yoshida has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Miki Yamane made 323 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Costa Rica that had 7 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 20' - Costa Rica seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 25' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Keysher Fuller, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 30' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Joel Campbell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - Wataru Endo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 41' - Anthony Contreras was booked on 41.
  • 42' - Anthony Contreras was booked on 42.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Miki Yamane on 44.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Ayase Ueda leaves to be changed by Takuma Asano.
  • 51' - Costa Rica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 56' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
  • 61' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 61.
  • 62' - Costa Rica receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 62.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Miki Yamane as he departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Gerson Torres as he departs to be replaced by Brandon Aguilera.
  • 67' - Junya Ito has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ritsu Doan on 67 minute.
  • 70' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Francisco Calvo.
  • 71' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Francisco Calvo on 71.
  • 76' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 81' - What a strike from Keysher Fuller! The score is 0-1.
  • 82' - The whistle greets Yuki Soma as he departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 84' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ko Itakura.
  • 89' - Another change for Costa Rica made on 89 minute. Celso Borges leaves to be changed by Youstin Salas.
  • 90' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Wataru Endo on 90.
  • 90' - Time for substitution for Costa Rica. Joel Campbell is replaced by Daniel Chacon.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
